| What’s New at the Palmdale Playhouse |
Renovations Bring a Fresh New Look
Exciting transformations have taken place at the Palmdale Playhouse, and we’re thrilled to unveil a refreshed, revitalized space that honors the legacy of the arts while stepping boldly into the future.
The most visible change is the brand-new exterior paint — a contemporary color palette that brings new life to the building’s façade. This fresh look was selected to complement the stunning new mural that now spans the entire side of the Playhouse. Inside, the stage has undergone a professional upgrade with the installation of a state-of-the-art Harlequin RockSure performance floor, providing both safety and versatility for performers of all kinds. Behind the scenes, the ambience has been equally elevated with the complete replacement of soft goods, including a dramatic new main drape in our signature blue, an elegant touch that pays homage to the Playhouse’s unique identity. Performers will also notice the brand-new dressing room, which now features 10 individual stations. Designed with style and comfort in mind, this sleek, modern space is ready to welcome both world-class talent and beloved local performers.

| Trailblazer Remembered: Hospital and CA State Parks Unite to Celebrate Jane Pinheiro During 70th Anniversary |
Jane Pinheiro was Antelope Valley Medical Center’s first board secretary
LANCASTER, CA - In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Antelope Valley Medical Center (AVMC) is proud to announce a meaningful partnership with the California State Parks to honor Jane Pinheiro, one of the hospital’s original board members and a pioneering advocate for California’s native wildflowers.
As part of this tribute, the hospital will showcase a special exhibit of Jane Pinheiro’s original paintings, depicting medicinal plants native to California. Additionally, the hospital’s main gift shop will feature poppy-themed merchandise from the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, which is also named in honor of the late Jane Pinheiro. Patients, visitors and staff are encouraged to see the display on the first floor of the main hospital and to stop by the gift shop. The exhibit will be displayed from September 8 – 26, 2025, Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.
“We are honored to celebrate our 70th anniversary by recognizing Jane Pinheiro’s extraordinary contributions,” said Edward Mirzabegian, Chief Executive Officer, Antelope Valley Medical Center. “Her passion for nature and community reflects the values we hold dear, and this partnership allows us to share her story and honor her legacy.”
Jane Pinheiro was a trailblazer for her time—an artist, conservationist, and civic leader whose vision helped shape both the hospital and the Poppy Reserve. Jane was a founding member of the Lancaster Women’s Club’s Wildflower Preservation Foundation. The Foundation led the successful effort to create the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, a protected place where the state flower, the California Poppy, could flourish. Her legacy continues to inspire generations through her art and environmental stewardship.
